Definitions
- This invention relates generally to starters and particularly to starters arranged to start an engine and having coupled thereto an accessory driven by the engine when the engine reaches its operating speed.
- Engines are started by rotational power provided by starters. It is common practice to arrange the engine to drive accessories such as generators or the like coupled to the starter, upon the engine reaching its operating speed. Prior to the present invention separate means such as a gear system disposed between the starter and the accessory had to be used for the purposes intended. This resulted in the obvious disadvantages of a more complex and larger system than desirable, as for aircraft applications or the like.
- the present invention utilizes particular elements of the starter gearing to drive the accessory and hence obviates the aforenoted disadvantages.
- This invention contemplates engine starter and accessory drive apparatus including first and second stage gear systems.
- a one-way drive, overrunning clutch is disposed between the output gear of the first stage and the input gear of the second stage.
- the arrangement is such that when power is developed at the input gear of the first stage the clutch drives the input gear of the second stage which causes an output drive member coupled to the engine to start the engine.
- the power input to the first stage decays.
- the engine continues to drive the output drive member and the second gear stage which in turn drives an accessory shaft.
- the second gear stage of the starter is active in starting the engine and driving the accessory shaft.
- FIGURE in the drawing is a half-section schematic showing the significant elements of the invention.
- the Drawing does not show conventional elements such as bearings, seals and the like which are typically employed in arrangements of the type described and which are well known to those skilled in the art.
- the device herein disclosed includes a first stage planetary gear system designated generally by the numeral 2 and a second stage planetary gear system designated generally by the numeral 3.
- Each of the planetary gear systems 2 and 3 include pinion gears 8 and 9, respectively; planetary gears 10 and 11, respectively; and ring gears 14 and 15, respectively.
- first stage ring gear 14 and second stage input pinion 9 is interposed a one-way drive, overrunning clutch 16.
- Clutch 16 is suitably mounted between inner and outer races 18 and 20, respectively.
- Inner race 18 is integral with an axially extending arm member 13 of ring gear 14, while outer race 20 is integral with an axially extending arm member 17 of an accessory shaft 6.
- Second stage input gear 9 is integral with outer race 20.
- Studs 22 and 24 are suitably mounted to a housing or the like 26 and rotatably support planetary gears 10 and 11, respectively, by bearings or the like (not shown).
- a starter which may be used with the arrangement herein disclosed may be of the air turbine type designated generally by the numeral 28 and including a turbine wheel 29 having a plurality of blades 30, one of which is shown in the drawing.
- Pinion 8 drives planetary gear 10 which meshes with ring gear 14 and provides a reduction in speed and an increase in torque, relative to that of turbine wheel 29 of air turbine starter 28, at inner race 18 of clutch 16.
- accessory shaft 6 may be coupled through a coupling means 32, which may be a gear arrangement or the like, to an accessory 33 such as a generator which is driven by an engine 35 as will be hereinafter described.
- Second stage planetary gear 11 is caused to rotate by pinon gear 9 and, in turn, meshes with ring gear 15 causing an engine output drive coupling 34, which may likewise be a gear arrangement or the like, coupled to engine 35 to drive the engine.
- the speed of accessory shaft 6 is increased by the ratio of the second stage gearing.
- This ratio is selected to provide the desired speed increase at accessory output coupling 32 relative to engine drive coupling 34 driven by the engine.
- the gear ratio of first stage planetary system 2 is selected in combination with that of second stage planetary gear system 3 to provide the desired ratio between the speed of turbine wheel 29 and engine drive coupling 34.
- the invention thus features imposing an overrunning clutch between the first stage gearing to the starter and the second stage gearing to the starter, utilizing the second stage gearing to achieve the desired speed increase between the accessory and the engine input drives.
